Dirty Art

A plate holds last night's dinner
It's not alone
There are others here

I ponder this
New
Dirty 
Art
Which sits unmoved in morning's
light
Then trembles

Up from table legs
As dog departs
A night time bed
And fly ascends 

To hover there
To beat the air with frantic life
My eyes transfixed
In dullest stare
Tis I the spider
Fly the lair

Then startle
At a clock's great chime
Then rise... Salutes...
To passing time
And turn away
From this day's play where
Dirty art 
On tables... stay ,

Would you be offended if I compared this to something of an Ann Sexton?

Alan Bennett springs to mind but at the end of the day it's you Marion.
Simply and uniquely your good self in what you offer up in the written word, let alone think up then generously share your thoughts.
And as Lorna and Bernie here state it is brilliant and wonderful to read what's imparted from your tireless imagination.
All good things and hugs to you Marion. xx

drain the yellow

All you got is cold day grey

Or the pinkish blush...
